at lunchtime yesterday, a small band of greenwash guerillas entered the lobby of the london shell hq to highlight the massive amount of toxic greenwash emanating from the building. once ejected they continued their work outside, warning the public of the dangers of greenwash

shell security got into quite a tizz over the four protestors and rather too many police arrived. the police (once the government security zone map was shown to them) "facilitated lawful protest" as long as it didn't go too near the poisonous shell building. this may have been for the safety of the public or for other reasons.

the guerillas' theatrics attracted quite a lot of public interest and loads of leaflets were handed out

greenwash guerillas are associated with rising tide and you can find out more about what they do and when, by getting in touch via their website at www.risingtide.org.uk

HERE'S THE NEW LINK FOR THE COMPLETE GREENWASH FILM

04.01.2008 02:27

full greenwash film in mp4 format - video/mp4 8.2M

full greenwash film in wmv format - video/x-ms-wmv 8.8M

the full 6'30" film is linked here
the previous link chopped the film short by about half a minute (which kinda spoils the ending)

if there's any clever techy indymedia types that want to repair the original links with these new full versions and then kill these comments, that would be fab, otherwise, sorry for the cock-up and please d/l these films and ignore the original links
